First post here! Just acquired a drop dead mint ME1. Took the photo below yesterday! The serial number is 4 88845. PRS Customer Service said the guitar is from early 2004. I can’t find a single other 2004 ME1 with a serial number that’s earlier than mine; does anyone have one that’s earlier than mine? Thanks in advance.

That’s just stunning!!! Awesome guitar, huuuge congratulations!!!

 

[gush]

That is incredible!!!

Congrats on an excellent catch! I haven’t seen any 2004s in the wild.

Thanks!! I got this thing as part of trade for a true historic murphy aged Les Paul, I’m sure most people on this forum would appreciate that

hahaha + the crazy amount of baking soda, lemon juice, vinegar, 4k grit sandpaper I used to clean that thing... no paid no gain

Steel wool to give it the "brushed" look again. (Although, it looks really nice since you've cleaned it up.)

Thanks, I couldn’t find steel wool anywhere at my place but luckily it turned out well

Nice guitar! Earlier than mine (88972). How may ME’s got stamped 10 tops? I was told this was an error?

What’s the best way to clean the plate on the case?

 

[Black Plaid]

Nice! ME1 FTW!

Sweet!
